Hi Frens & Contacts

Does anyone know anybody or contact to do house cleaning  & ironing like once a week or once a fortnight? Really in need!!  Tks.

How do you discipline and train a strong-willed child without damaging the self-concept and destroying the spontaneity inside? It's a question that I've been asked often.

To answer it, you really have to come to an understanding of the difference between breaking the spirit and shaping the will of the child.  The human spirit relates to the self-esteem or the sense of personal worth.  As such, it is exceedingly fragile at all ages, and it just has to be handled with great care.

Anything that depreciates a boy or girl's self-worth can be costly to the spirit.  However, the will is made of steel.  It arrives, full-strength, at the moment of birth.  Anyone who has ever witnessed a full-blown temper tantrum knows what I'm talking about.  Some two-year-olds can become so angry that they'll hold their breath until they lose consciousness.  Such is the strength of the will.  How, then do we deal with these two components of the human personality : the will and the spirit?  We do it by setting up and defending reasonable boundaries while never resorting to that which attacks the personhood of the child.

To say, "You must do what I tell you to do" is proper, and it's addressed to the will.  But to say , "You stupid brat!  Why don't you do anythin right?" is an assault on the spirit.  The bottom line is to shape the will without breaking the spirit.

When praying, don't give Allah instruction - just report for duty.

Don't wait for strong men to take you to the mosque.

We don't change Allah's message - His message changes us.

When Allah ordains, He sustains!

WARNING : exposure to Allah may prevent burning!

This article is taken from an e-mail I received from one of my friend and I think it is quite interesting and true.

If you worry about what may happens tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain.  Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.  So WHY WORRY??

How to stay young and happy...

Throw out non-essential numbers.  This includes age, weight and height.  Let the doctor worry about them.  That is why we pay them.

Keep only cheerful friends.  The grouches pull you down. ( Keep in mind if you are one of those grouches ).

Keep learning, never let the brain get idle cos "AN IDLE MIND IS THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP. AND THE DEVIL'S NAME IS ALZHEIMER'S!'  Get it???

Enjoy the simple thing.  Like going to the market, eating an ice-cream and so on.

Laugh often, long and loud.  And if you have friends who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of your free time with them.

Surround yourself with what you love.  Whether it's your family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.  Your home is your refuge.

Cherish your health: If it's good - preserve it, if it's unstable - improve it, if it's beyond what you can improve - get help.

Don't take guilt trip.  Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country,  NOT to where the guilt is.

And the most important thing....TELL THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE THAT YOU LOVE  THEM, AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.
